Cold rooms & commercial in Gauteng: local notes
Commercial refrigeration work in Gauteng runs from bottle coolers in Soweto taverns to blast freezers in the cold stores around City Deep and Germiston. Butcheries along the Main Reef Road and in Mamelodi rely on walk-in cold rooms, and caterers in Midrand and Randburg often hire mobile cold rooms for weddings and year-end functions. Many refrigeration contractors on the East Rand build cold rooms from sandwich panels, so ask for the panel thickness and the condensing unit size in writing.
Gauteng: heat, power and cold chains
Gauteng packs more fridges into a small area than anywhere else in the country, from bar fridges in student flats in Braamfontein and Hatfield to the cold rooms of butcheries, takeaways and wholesalers in every township. The Highveld air is dry, so coils clog with dust rather than rust, and the summer storm season brings lightning, tripped DB boards and power surges that can take out start relays and control boards. Spaza shops and taverns in Soweto, Tembisa and Mamelodi run glass door coolers flat out, while townhouse complexes keep landlords busy with tired combis. Regassing, compressor swaps and display fridge repairs are asked for most, by households, shop owners, caterers and the factories of the East Rand.
Typical commercial refrigeration requests in the area come from:
- Households: a second-hand bottle cooler or upright freezer for a home business or braai area
- Shops, cafes and supermarkets: bottle coolers, multidecks and freezers in spaza shops, forecourts and supermarkets
- Restaurants, butcheries and caterers: prep fridges, serve-over counters and freezers for restaurants, bakeries and butcheries
